Functional descriptionThe pyrometer TP10 uses an infrared sensor to measure surfacetemperatures without contact. An integrated dual laser pointer canbe switched on for the precise determination of the measuringspot diameter. The degree of emission of the material to be measured can be setindividually. The device further features an alarm function. When exceeding orfalling below the individually specified values, the device emits anacoustic signal.The display can be illuminated as needed.An automatic switch-off saves the battery.

Improper useThe device must not be used in potentially explosive atmospheres.It must not be pointed at people.TROTEC® accepts no liability for damages resulting from improperuse. In such a case, entitlements to a warranty are forfeited.

Personnel qualificationsPeople who use this device must:• have read and understood the operating manual, especially the

Safety chapter.• be aware of the dangers that occur when working with laser

measuring devices.

Residual risksRisk from laser radiation!Class 2 laser radiation. Lasers of class 2 only radiate in the visible range andduring continuous wave operation (lasting beam) no morethan 1 milliwatt (mW) of output will be emitted. Lookingdirectly into the laser beam for a longer period of time(more than 0.25 seconds) can cause damage to the retina.Avoid looking directly into the laser beam. Never look intothe laser beam using optical aides. Do not suppress thewinking reflex when looking into the laser beamunintentionally. Never point the laser beam at people oranimals.

Danger!Do not leave the packaging lying around. Children may useit as a dangerous toy.

Danger!The device is not a toy and does not belong in the handsof children.

Danger!Dangers can occur at the device when it is used byuntrained people in an unprofessional or improper way.Observe the personnel qualifications.

Caution!To prevent damages to the device, do not expose it toextreme temperatures, extreme humidity or moisture.

Caution!Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents to clean thedevice.

Safety


TransportUse the supplied device bag to transport the device.

StorageWhen the device is not being used, observe the following storageconditions:• Dry.• Protected from dust and direct sunlight.• With a plastic cover to protect it from invasive dust, if

necessary.• The storage temperature is the same as the range given in the

chapter Technical data.• When storing the device for a long time, remove the battery.• Preferably use the supplied device bag to store the device.

Inserting the batteries• Insert the supplied battery before first use.

Caution!Make certain that the surface of the device is dry and thedevice is switched off.

1. Open the cover of the battery compartment (28).2. Use the battery clip (27) to connect the new battery with

correct polarity.3. Insert the battery in the battery compartment.4. Close the cover of the battery compartment (28).

Carrying out a measurementNote:Note that moving from a cold area to a warm area can lead tocondensation forming on the device's circuit board. This physicaland unavoidable effect can falsify the measurement. In this case,the display shows either no measured values or they are incorrect.Wait a few minutes until the device has become adjusted to thechanged conditions before carrying out a measurement.

• Ensure that the surface to be measured is free of dust, dirt orsimilar substances.

• To be able to gain exact measurement results on surfaceswhich reflect heavily, stick matt masking tape to the surface orapply matt black paint with a very high and known degree ofemission.

• Note the 75:1 ratio of the distance to the measuring spot size.For accurate measurements the measuring object should be atleast twice as large as the measuring spot.

1. Point the device at the object to be measured.2. Press the Measurement button (7).

– Hold onto the Measurement button (7) if you want to performa prolonged measurement.

– The device turns on and carries out a measurement. TheSCAN symbol (12) appears in the display. The currentmeasured value is indicated.

3. Let go of the Measurement button (7) again.– The device stops measuring. The HOLD symbol (12) appears

in the display.– Depending on the setting of the device, either the Max/Min

value or the Avg/Dif value of the last measurement will bedisplayed.

– The following list of setting options will be displayed:

3. Select the desired setting by use of the F3 or F1.4. Confirm the selection by pressing F2.5. Select the desired setting by use of the F3 or F1.6. Press the Mode key (4) to confirm your selection.

– The desired settings are saved.

USB connectionVia the USB connection (11) you can connect the device to a PC.While connected, the device will be supplied with power via thePC. Consequently, the device can be operated without battery forthe duration of the connection.

1. Open the lateral sealing cap of the device.2. Attach the USB cable to the USB connection of the device.3. Connect the USB cable to a PC.

– Wait for a few seconds until the connection is established.

De-/activating the USB functionNote:Activating the USB function is not required, if you only want to usethe USB connection for the sake of ensuring the power supply forthe measuring device. The USB function is only required for thesoftware-supported recording of measurement series in real time.1. Repeatedly press the Mode key (4) until the following menu is

displayed:


3. Select Send Data and press the F2 button.– You can now choose between Real Time and Memory.

4. Select Real Time, if you want to activate the USB function.5. Press F2 to switch between On (enable) and Off (disable).6. Press the Mode key (4) to confirm your selection.

– Depending on your selection the USB function is now de-/activated.

7. If you want to transfer the measured values saved in the deviceto the PC, select Memory and confirm with OK.– USB mode will then be activated for the transmission period

and afterwards return to inactive state.

Using the software for recording measurement series

• Make sure the device is connected to a PC via USB cable.• Make sure that the software for recording measurement series

required for USB operation is installed on the PC.• Ensure that the USB function is activated..

During the entire measuring procedure, both the temperaturevalues of the infrared sensor and those of the external type Ksensor (if connected) will be transmitted to the software andrecorded.

Note:The supplied software is a complimentary bonus that does notbelong to the standard scope of delivery and is offered for usewithout support or warranty. The program interface (only availablein the English language) is generally easily comprehensible andcan be used intuitively. Further information regarding the use isprovided in the application.

Using external sensors (contact sensor type K)In addition to the non-contact temperature measurement, themeasuring device can be used for contact measurements using anexternal type K contact sensor.1. Open the lateral sealing cap of the device.2. Affix the contact sensor to the sensor connection (10) of the

device.– It takes a few seconds until the sensor is detected.– During the measurement the contact sensor's measured

value is indicated in the lower measurement valuedisplay (20).

The device measures the temperature by means of an infraredsensor. Important factors are the measuring spot diameter and thedegree of emission.

Measuring spotObserve the ratio of the distance to the measuring spot diameter.The larger the distance to the object, the larger the measuring spotdiameter and hence, the less precise the measured result.

Degree of emissionThe degree of emission is used to describe the energy radiationcharacteristics of a material.A material's degree of emission depends on various factors:• composition, • surface condition,• temperature.

The degree of emission can be between 0.1 and 1 (in theory).

The following rule of thumb can be assumed: • When a material is rather dark and its surface texture matt, it

probably has a high degree of emission. • The brighter and smoother the surface of a material, the lower

will be its degree of emission, presumably. • The higher the degree of emission of the surface to be

measured, the better it is suited for non-contact temperaturemeasurement by use of a pyrometer or thermal imagingcamera, since falsifying temperature reflections becomenegligible.

Entering a degree of emission as accurate as possible isindispensable for a precise measurement.Most organic materials have a degree of emission of 0.95. Metalsor shiny materials come with a much lower value.
